Pulling off the catch was a team effort. As the Associated Press explains, Ed Parrish, a family friend, kayaked a few hundred feet off the beach and dropped bait. Sechrist then locked the brakes on his wheelchair and strapped on a fishing harness. Once the group heard a bait click sound, signaling something was on the line, friends held the wheelchair in place while Sechrist wrestled with the hefty shark and eventually brought it to shore. The group snapped photos, and then released the catch back into the water.
